*** $20,000 Sign On Bonus For External Candidates ***

Optum Home & Community Care, part of the UnitedHealth Group family of businesses, is creating something new in health care. We are uniting industry-leading solutions to build an integrated care model that holistically addresses an individual’s physical, mental and social needs – helping patients access and navigate care anytime and anywhere.

As a team member of our Senior Community Care (SCC) product, we work with a team to provide care to patients at home in a nursing home, assisted living for senior housing. This life-changing work adds a layer of support to improve access to care.

We’re connecting care to create a seamless health journey for patients across care settings. Join us to start Caring. Connecting. Growing together.

This role is within our SNF Patient Connect program. Optum Senior Community Care provides the Patient Connect Program for United Healthcare members in a short stay/transitional setting with focus on reduction in 30-day hospital readmissions, improved completeness and coding accuracy of diagnosis and medical record documentation, increased closure of STAR/HEDIS quality measures, improved completion rates of Advanced Care Planning Directives, and improved patient and family satisfaction and discharge and post discharge support. The Optum practitioner will provide a one-time comprehensive health assessment for the member in collaboration with the case management team to support better care coordination and health outcomes. This is an autonomous role that creates enormous satisfaction for the NP as you impact the care and support of our population.
